ARL is a clean-farming technology company building India’s first scalable, fully indigenous, commercial aeroponics systems for high-yield, climate-resilient food production. Its Growize platform delivers 360 tons/acre/year (global benchmark) at ₹53/kg—about 5× higher yields at 40% lower costs than competition.
Powered by advanced aeroponics, sunlight-driven greenhouses, and fully automated modular infrastructure, they deliver 95% reduction in water usage. The Greenlyfe brand and a guaranteed buyback model further de-risk adoption for growers.
With 12+ years of R&D, ARL has achieved 100% pesticide-free production and industry-leading resource savings—400M litres of water and 70 tons of CO₂ reduced per acre annually. They work with growers, institutions, and agri-investors while supplying clean produce through strong B2B and retail partnerships, offering 15–35% predictable annual returns depending on the farm model.

Samunnati and AgResearch Labs join hands to support clean farming in India
AgResearch Labs (ARL) has announced a partnership with Samunnati to expand its clean farming systems across India. The agreement will help ARL scale up its aeroponic systems by using Samunnati’s network and finance services.
The two companies will work together to provide trade and financing solutions for farmers and agri-businesses. This will help more growers adopt aeroponic systems, which use very little water and land compared to traditional farming. The partnership is supported by Stay Still Scale High, an advisory firm that helps small companies raise growth capital.
